Anyone else extremely gassy when in solid remission?

I've always found that when I'm in a true remission, I'm really, really gassy. Like passing loud gas three or four times an hour for much of the day. The gas smells normal and letting it out doesn't cause any leakage.

I pop Gas X like candy when I'm going to be around people. I'm a stay-at-home mom so I let them rip when home alone.

When I say "true remission", I mean that I'm having one, occasionally two, solid, healthy-looking BMs a day. No urgency, no pain, feeling good and normal. So I don't think the gas signals anything bad. Maybe it's my colon enjoying being healthy?

Anyone else have this experience?

one word = Rejoice !

If I eat certain meals/foods then I become more gassy at times, otherwise occasionally throughout the day I have that, but not four times an hour or even close to it.

It probably has to do with your gut bacterial makeup and what foods you eat.

I have a lot of gas when I am feeling well. Right now I wouldn't fart unless I was sitting on the toilet :(

Does gas ex help much?

kiptyn: I'm glad the GSE is working on you. It sounds like you're doing better than I am. I have been contemplating going up to 3 capsules per day but I did that once already and got worse. Can't help but wonder though if circumstances might be a little different now.

One word, enjoy. Able to fart without mucus is a luxury for us.

That being said, do you keep a food chart? Helped me figure out that when I jack up my dairy consumption, I fart a lot. May be something similar?

Consider taking Magnesium citrate if intestinal motility is an issue, even if its a bit. That could make stuff stay around longer leading to fermentation..
